The debut RISE OF THE MACHINE by German quintet ROCKETCHIEF sets standards for rough rock
music in the new decade: flaming reminiscences from the time when Rock´n´Roll was still young and
steaming lay the fundament for 13 songs full of dusty sharp riffs, original psychedelic-licks and energetic headbangers. This record is alive and kicking, catchy as hell. While hearing the record, singer Freddy´s whiskey-soaked vocals repeatedly push themselves to the fore. You can describe Rocketchief's sound as modern vintage - honest, direct and down to earth. To put it in another way - you can hear actual people playing their instruments and having a good time. Among other things the songwriting´s striking level can be explained by guitarist Stephan Galls history as a musician (playing in death metal formation Misery Speaks e.g.). Besides dance- and moshable songs, smooth blues parts and rolling stoner-avalanches do the honors. "RISE OF THE MACHINE" is a big deal for fans of Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Gluecifer, Volbeat, Down and QOTSA.
